Daniel, seeing that he finally managed to injure the Hero of Death, smiled and took the chance—though first he had to block the strike that was just about to hit him.
The [Demonic Twilight Shield] appeared around him again and blocked the next blow of the Death Sword. This time, the returning energy gave him a surge of power. Daniel roared and slammed a [Strike of Destruction] into the air.
The aura of destruction burst out from his sword, splitting into thousands of small blades that cut through the air.
The black clouds were torn apart, lightning shattered and scattered to the sides.
The Hero of Death was pushed back. For the first time, his steps trembled.
But he only clapped. The sound of his hands echoed in the absolute silence like a bell.
"Good… finally you understood that you need to use the enemy's energy against him. That is the true principle of death. It always comes back… and you are the one who chooses whether to stand against it or to draw strength from it."
